gwb123 Posted November 14, 2014 Share #7 Posted November 14, 2014 He looks like he still knows how to handle that Thompson!

Garandomatic Posted May 13, 2016 Share #11 Posted May 13, 2016 Thanks for updating this. Good to see him still around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonT Posted May 13, 2016 Share #12 Posted May 13, 2016 Seriously, the guy looks younger than some almost half his age. Glad to see he's still enjoying life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.S. Posted June 4, 2016 Share #13 Posted June 4, 2016 I'm seriously impressed by Mr. Overton. At 110 years old, he walks to church every Sunday and has a glass of whiskey and a cigar every evening. Seems like life is still going pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
